Submission Description:
An obstetrical service with 3600 births annually was challenged with coordinating and providing access to patient care information to over 100 Pediatric and Obstetric providers in a hybrid computer system. This presentation will present an innovative program that has successfully surmounted the challenges of identifying high risk newborns, facilitating access to patient care information and spanning the gaps created by two different healthcare organizations caring for the obstetrical patient and her fetus.
